I don't have a lot of confidence in this team as it stands now, so I plan to keep an eye on the waiver wires and injury reports this season and try to capitalize on some good pick-ups in the first few weeks. Unfortunately, Ricky Williams wasn't wasn't available in this draft at a viable round, so I'm gambling pretty heavy on Brown for the first few weeks. By the way, I looked into Robert Meachem on your suggestion, Gary, and ended up picking him up in my second draft last night. I'll post the results today. Thanks for the tip!

I always try to get a QB/Receiver combo from the same team. I would be worried about Ronnie Brown, like the guy above me mentioned, if Ricky Williams is available I'd snatch him up. I take it that there aren't to many quality receivers available based on your reserve, they look to be a weak spot. If any are available I'd try to upgrade that position especially with Chad Johnson playing with with a torn labrum. Take a look at Robert Meachum of the Saints, if he is available you may want to grab him. He has alot of upside this year especially in the pass happy offense of the Saints. Two things I can talk hours about are comics and football. I like the Roethlisburger/Holmes combo. I always try to get a QB/Receiver combo from the same team.

Ronnie Brown is a big concern. Did someone snag Ricky Williams or is he still your league's free agent list. Get him if you can as a handcuff. Nice fantasy draft. Ronnie Brown is a big concern.
